Teaching painting “Beyond the Obvious” forces
one to paint that way too! After all, one must lead by example. This series
is built on one sea gull. What can one do, creatively, to a bird in twenty
paintings or more to discover entirely original and unique designs? This
is the goal of painting ‘beyond the obvious’ . . . . to reach
a new place . . .to attain a new way to think about a subject and the
design . . .to truly CREATE FROM THE HEART!
